pakitong kitong

me and my brother used to sing this song as a joke when we’re little.  haha, never thought that it was really a song someplace. i just found out that this is a children folk song in Philippines.
it’s funny when children sing this Pakitong Kitong :)
here are the lyrics (source)
——————————————————————————
Children’s Song

(Tagalog)
Tong, tong, tong, pakitong-kitong
Alimango, sa dagat
malaki at masarap
mahirap
mahuli sapagkat nangangagat
tong, tong, tong, tong pakitong-kitong.

(English)
Tong, tong, tong, pakitong-kitong
Crabs from the sea,
So big and tasty,
It’s difficult to catch,
‘Cause it bites.
Tong, tong, tong, pakitong-kitong.
